AI UGC actors

An AI UGC actor becomes your spokesperson.

AI UGC actors are presenters made with AI, not filmed people, who read your script on camera with lip sync. Cast one from the RiffAds library as your AI spokesperson or make your own, and each take becomes a UGC style video ad.

The short answer

What is an AI spokesperson?

An AI spokesperson is an AI actor that reads your script on camera, the job a filmed creator does in a UGC ad. An AI video model moves its face and lips to match the voice: in RiffAds that is OmniHuman 1.5, Seedance 2.5 Actor or MiniMax H3 Max Lip Sync. You approve the credit price before the render starts.

Best for

  • Brands testing many hooks
  • One face across a campaign
  • Agencies with many clients
  • Beauty and skincare brands
  • Teams using an AI agent

How it works

  1. 01

    Cast the actor

    Start from an AI actor in the library, or design a new one by describing the person in words or uploading a photo you have consent to use.

  2. 02

    Direct the read

    Write the lines, add emotion tags such as excited or serious, then choose a voice or upload audio you recorded.

  3. 03

    Pick the engine

    Use OmniHuman 1.5 for long reads (under 60 seconds of audio), MiniMax H3 Max for short hooks (5 to under 14.8 seconds), or let Seedance 2.5 Actor voice the script itself (4 to 30 seconds).

  4. 04

    Approve the cost

    Confirm the credit quote, save the finished video file, and cast the same actor again in your next variation.

06FAQ

AI UGC actors, answered.

Still unsure? Book a call

No. Every actor in the RiffAds library is generated by AI from scratch, not built from a photo or video of a real person. A custom actor is different: you can build one from a photo, as long as the person in it is you or gave written consent. Never recreate a celebrity or influencer without consent you can prove.

It can be, if the ad stays honest. FTC staff say its rule on fake reviews and testimonials does not ban AI avatars in marketing outright, though an ad with an avatar can still be deceptive under the FTC Act. The line is the script: an AI actor must not pose as a real customer, because the rule bans fake testimonials, including ones from a person who does not exist.

Often, yes. TikTok makes a disclaimer mandatory on ads with AI-generated or synthetic media. New York requires whoever produces an ad to conspicuously disclose a synthetic performer they know is in it. In the EU, since 2 August 2026, a lifelike AI person that would falsely appear real can count as a deepfake and needs a visible or audible label. You run the ad, not RiffAds, so you add the label.

Yes, with a workflow rather than a library actor. The 20 ready-made workflows include "Product photo to spoken ad", which takes one product photo and your brand details. It returns a vertical clip in which an invented AI creator holds your product and talks about it. For a longer ad, join product B-roll and a talking actor take with the Stitch tool.

Yes, mostly through the script. Put an emotion tag such as excited, serious, whisper or laugh before a line to change how the voice delivers it. Scripts can be in any of 74 voice languages, with lip sync to match. Each language is a new take from your script, not a dub of an existing video.

It depends on the model and the length. The studio quotes the credits before anything renders. OmniHuman 1.5 is 28 credits a second, so a 30 second ad with its voice-over is about 848 credits. 1 credit is $0.01. The entry plan is $49 a month, and credits do not expire.

Yes. Every paid plan includes API, MCP, Agent Skills and CLI, so an agent can choose who is on screen, get a quote and start the render on your credits. A person sets its limits, by default 600 credits per job and 2,000 a day. A 30 second OmniHuman 1.5 video costs more than that job limit, so an owner or admin must raise it for long takes. Creating a new custom actor stays in the app.
